HEARNS GETS BARKLEY. Thomas Hearns wants Sugar Ray Leonard and Marvelous Marvin Hagler. Instead, he is getting Iran Barkley. Hearns said he will defend his World Boxing Council middleweight title against Barkley on June 6 at the Las Vegas (Nev.) Hilton. Barkley (24-4 with 15 knockouts) earned the title shot by stopping Michael Olajide March 6.
